The Trinity Firefighting contest is an
international competition simulating the concept of a firefighting robot which
can find and extinguish a fire in your home. In this case, a candle in a model

Snuffy was in the middle of an unusually long streak of
working properly and managed to get a good score on all three trials. 1st
trial: 1.5, 2nd: 1.0, 3rd: 1.23 for a
winning score of 2.01 . Click here for official results
